Autumn 2019 - General Discussion

Just in from a lovely wild walk in between deluges; clear sky here then looking at the horizon to see vertical water falling... Now here too.

I rather enjoy the drama of this weather. No boredom, and ingenuity needed.

The past week has definitively been one of the wettest weeks of the year in some parts of the country. The next week looks no dryer.

Some torrential downpours in the last hour in Castlebar.

Newport holding pride of place this September for being the wettest station so far, with totals up to yesterday up to 143.1mm. Ballyhaise in second place at 131.0mm.

Big difference to the 34.9mm in Gurteen and 35.3mm at Roches Pt. Nationally, % figure is 89% of the average monthly total so far (this will rise before month's end) which ranges from 165% in Ballyhaise to just 41.5% at Roches Pt.


...Stats from Met Eireann.

I’d say most if not all of that Roches Point was in the last week! September was very good up until then.

I dunno how your escaping with such good weather! Even London and the south-east of England has rotten weather.

In fairness it's been dry here at Dunshaughlin since this morning, but there were some very beefy showers overnight.

Both. I think we’re going to get the tail end of a storm next week.

Surprised how Calm and dry Meath is this evening and so far tonight. Can definitely feel how much cooler it is.

Just the 8.2mm last hour in athenry
Badly needed if we are to avoid a drought next year when we have 2 dry weeks in spring

It's been very wet there, we get it. No need to keep on repeating it daily.

Just 42.8mm in September as of this minute
Remember your trip looking out the plane window as you headed to spain and the clouds cleared in east Wicklow and wexford versus Cloudy Dublin airport and Dunshaughlin at the time?
Expecting over 20mm or more tomorrow night here tho

That's fine but less of the sarcastic moaning tone would be appreciated.

It has rained basically every day since July
A lot of those days 10-20mm
Record breaking August
How do you want me to feel!

Won’t post here again for a while so.
Don’t want to offend anyone by reporting the bad weather in my area
Maybe everyone should do the same
We can just look at the radar anyway
Good times

igCorcaigh

Not meaning to derail, but does anyone else think that we have had much more torrential downpours over the last 10 years or so?

When I was a kid in the 80's it used to be frequent soft day misty weather. Now, more longer dry spells and then torrents.

Anybody feel the same?

It has been bad here but Athenry really has been getting the brunt of it these last couple of months to the point of being relentless.

There's only been slightly more here in Glasnevin in September , so far. 47.5mm.

SleetAndSnow

Surprisingly cork airport is only reporting 46.5mm of rain so far this September, has felt like a lot more with very heavy bursts of rain including this morning. Roches point even less at 35.3 and Moore park at 43.6. That week of warm, dry weather must have really helped the situation though with the warning tomorrow the total will jump up a bit I think.
